Mobile homes give way to flats at Inverness caravan park
August 15 2016
A total of six separate four storey blocks will be delivered with canal front properties benefitting from their own private balconies.
Situated off Glenurquhart Road the scheme will include surface parking and landscaping on 1.13 hectares of land close to the Caledonian Canal, with landscape design undertaken by Highland Landscape Design.
Established trees on site will be protected throughout the work to maintain boundaries with the canal tow path, hotel and golf course with additional planting serving to soften spaces communal spaces.
The caravan park has been in use since the early eighties
The land has been classed as 'medium' contamination owing to the use of part of the land for vehicle storage and a filling station

That may be the single worst thing I've ever seen.

I Think I have an answer.
A quick check of the ARB Register suggests that despite the company name this was not designed by an architect!

Can't believe there is a genuine demand for such woeful looking properties. Surely low rise terraced housing would be better.

On image two of three there are balconies but no doors or screens on to them? just tiny little windows...

Has Inverness taken over from Aberdeen as the place Architecture Goes to Die?
By the way I particularly like the way the flats overlook the bin stores. A nice unusual touch.

It's OK. Some loon is towing a boat down the cycle-path.

Inverness once again demonstrates it is holding firm to the tradition of delivering the worst of the old eastern-bloc style of utilitarian housing construction. Ceaucescu would have been proud of these blocks of flats.....
